[wix-users] VS2019 - How to get intellisense working for WIX tasks and extensions in .wixproj msbuild file

[jovan27 at gmx.de]

I use the ` HeatDirectory` task in my project file to harvests the publish folder inside a `BeforeBuild` target, which assigns those resources to a ComponenetGroup.

 

Doesn’t make sense?

Those schemas are not used within .wixproj files. They make sense in .wxs files.

The `.wixproj` project file starts like this:

```

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build"
InitialTargets="EnsureWixToolsetInstalled"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" >

```



For example I want to have intellisense for the following schemas in my
`wixproj` file:



```

   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"

   xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"

   xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension"

```



I've already checked the schemas under `XML-->Schemas` in VS.



What else do I need to do, to get intellisense working?
